Reminds me of playing the game at college, when the game was brand new. Or rather not really playing the game. Fellow student Mr. Filpus, was a few months away from becoming Dr. Filpus, PhD in chemistry.

Mr. Filpus went first. Mr. Filpus lucked out, and got an easy entertainment question. Mr Filpus had nothing to fear from any other category but sports. His sports question was about golf, so he guessed Arnold Palmer. There just weren't that many famous golf players three decades ago. He bopped around the board answering science questions with ease, until he rolled right so he could get to the center to claim his rightful price.

It wasn't that the other players didn't know trivia. They never got to play. He won on his very first turn.

Congratulations!

Sales of "Formula for Success" remain quite high and I'm guessing that any "core" shirt-wooter who cares about buying it on AA has already done so. Kevlar/walmazan collabs have always sold well in women's sizes, so it would be logical to reserve the remaining royal blue AA blanks for an initial run of "Trivial Matters."

Exactly why I didn't hesitate to buy this. Anvil WL fits me really well and actually accommodates my bazooms. My Formula shirt in AA WXL has yet to be worn because frankly, most days I'm not into shirt-administered mammograms. I wish I could swap it.

Thanks, shirt.woot, for having shirts I can actually wear now, not just on "compression bra" days.

(If you need a WXS, have you tried running a WS through the dryer? These shrink like crazy. Or, try a kids size. I have a friend who wears K8. She likes the shorter length, as well.)

Homonym does literally mean "same name," but that does not primarily refer to the spelling. The term comes from analyses of spoken language, where the sounds are what matter. The term for words that are spelled the same way is "homograph."

A secondary definition of "homonym" is "a word that is both a homograph and a homophone," but its primary definition is synonymous with "homophone." (It is less commonly, but still legitimately, used to mean "homograph." It is a flexible term. The other two are the specific ones.) You could look it up, and not only in Merriam-Webster's.

(I checked more than half a dozen dictionaries—the oldest printed in 1854; the youngest, in 2011—but then I do this sort of thing for fun.)

On one hand, I love Trivial Pursuit.
On the other, I suck at math.
On the other hand (look at all these hands I have!), I am a teacher and love puns/wordplay.
On the other hand, I teach English, not math, so this would make me feel like an imposter.
At the same time, on different hands, I play Trivial Pursuit with my students when we have extra time after a test...
